Hello

Is there a library like for Pharo to generate DOCX files?

Something like this https://docx.codeplex.com/ DocX is a .NET library that allows developers to manipulate Word 2007/2010/2013 files, in an easy and intuitive manor. DocX is fast, lightweight and best of all it does not require Microsoft Word or Office to be installed.

Yes, this is what I realized when looking at your code in Tabular. This is a good basis to build upon. I started adding some versions to http://ss3.gemtalksystems.com/ss/Tabular.html mainly adding comments and grouping method into protocols. Your test cases are useful. May I ask you to add some comment to the exporters subpackage? Hannes On 8/8/15, Vincent BLONDEAU <vincent.blondeau@polytech-lille.net> wrote:

I think you can improve Tabular to generate DOCX files. It is the same file standard than XLSX.

Give me couple of minutes to make answer, please. 2015-08-08 13:14 GMT+03:00 H. Hirzel <hannes.hirzel@gmail.com>:

Mainly the answer to the question: How do I use the experimental exporter class?

Sorry if I was crude - it was not my intention :) I just spotted your question and have started investigation, and I just wanted to show that I'm in process of answering and answer will soon be here. Unfortunately, unexpected emergency happened...well, anyway: Using of TabularExperimenting is very simple (though not very usable): tab := TabularExperimenting new. tab generateXLSX. It will generate file named "Test.xlsx" in the current directory (in windows environment it is directory same to image one in most cases, in ubuntu it's home folder of the current user). If you'll see closely on TabularExperimenting, the model for the export is genrated in #initialize method. And, as far as I remember, it do not support multi-sheets documents (only first sheet will be actually written to the file). That's why it's Experimenting, not Exporter :) Well, I have used this code in production, making very quick, dirty and obvious API for this TabularExperimenting class. It's on repo now, but not recommended for loading (see the version comments to find one if you want to see it). 2015-08-08 13:32 GMT+03:00 H. Hirzel <hannes.hirzel@gmail.com>:

Sorry I do not want to put you under pressure, the second email was just meant as a clarificiation of the first :-), take you time.

I consider an evolution of models with increasing complexity The goal is to have at least something as here but in certain areas more http://davidgohel.github.io/ReporteRs/word.html So it is Model 1 Subset ----------------------- Headings Paragraphs Tables (here comes your TABULAR model into action) Images pagebreak Model 2 Subset ----------------------- = Model 1 plus TOC sections Columns hrefs Model 3 Subset ----------------------- ??? not yet defined Formatting ---------------- Maybe direct formatting in the code but later surely all done with styles (no direct formatting) The styles have bold / italic / regular font and font size color subscript / superscript On 8/9/15, Юрий Мироненко <assargaddon@gmail.com> wrote:

An initial version of a DOCX export (Headings and tables) here http://ss3.gemtalksystems.com/ss/Tabular.html (click on 'latest' and load configuration and Tabular*.mcz file). --Hannes On 8/9/15, H. Hirzel <hannes.hirzel@gmail.com> wrote:

And as Model 0

Model 0 Subset ----------------------- Headings Tables (here comes your TABULAR model into action)

This means it can be a TabularDOCXExport class in http://ss3.gemtalksystems.com/ss/Tabular.html for a start.

So it is

Model 1 Subset -----------------------

Headings Paragraphs Tables (here comes your TABULAR model into action) Images pagebreak

Model 2 Subset ----------------------- = Model 1 plus

TOC sections Columns hrefs

Model 3 Subset ----------------------- ??? not yet defined

Formatting ----------------

Maybe direct formatting in the code

but later surely all done with styles (no direct formatting)

The styles have bold / italic / regular font and font size color subscript / superscript
